It seemed like an insurmountable issue, with no possibility of a solution in sight. The Israelites wedged physically and mentally between the red sea and Pharaoh's powerful horses and chariots came to mind. The best thing it seemed was to give in and be crushed to death by these chariots....it would finally be over, no more fears, no more painful recollection of being enslaved.....what has Moses got to say.....all these for trusting him...
Without the red sea in the way the Israelites would not have experienced the demonstration of God's power, as the ALMIGHTY ONE cleared a path through impossibility to a door of better things. God never promised a life without battles, He promised victory as we walk in faith and peace the world cannot give.
The Israelites could have stayed in Egypt but took the chance of following Moses till they were caught between Pharaoh and the red sea. Going back to Pharaoh on their knees was an option, but they looked to Moses who cried to God.
Christ Jesus is our Moses, the high Priest of our professions (our declaration) As we declare we have no other help but Christ and look to Him, He intercedes on our behalf, our advocate. God hears Him who has been in our place, the perfect advocate, and opens doors to a new life, as He parts whatever our red sea may be. The sea did not disappear, the Istaelites walked through the miraculous path in it!
Red seas vary- It could be a "terminal" illness, financial distress tat's seeingly insurmountable, relationship difficulties, chronic illness or a difficult child. There's nothing that can defy God's power if we yield ourselves to Him. He'll walk us through the red sea to a land that flows with milk and honey whilst empowering us to face the giants that may threaten us in the place prepared for us.
